The daughter of my friend is really timid and shy, I suggest to that she should devote herself in a sport to boost her confidence but it is really hard to encourage her. What should her mother do?

Maybe sports aren't her thing, in which case,you can't make someone get involved with them in order to boost her confidence. There are other ways of helping her with her self-esteem besides organized sports. Perhaps she likes to draw or sculpt; encourage her to continue that and maybe enter some art contests. Maybe she likes singing; encourage her in that. Sports aren't the be-all and end-all of everything in life.

To be honest the sports I was into where the ones I did with my folks and aunt. My kids are into what ever My man and I do with them. I think the key word is what we do "with" them! the best way to get them into anything is to show them how much fun it is to do by doing it as well. Not Only will you get some exercises but think of all the good, productive quality time you'll get with your kid.
